    Here's an article on general points of forsythia card: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/forsythia/forsythia-shrub-care.htm
    Forsythia are touch and generally disease free. Check the soil drainage and amount of water - boggy conditions can definitely cause weakness and dieback. Also too much shade could do it.

    Sheila, I can't quite make out the shape of the leaves, but it resembles a Forsythia which has small yellow flowers.

    Unfortunately sometimes you can't explain the loss of a healthy plant.

    Forsythia are quite hardy, and my recommendation if you see no leafing out of the plant, would be to trim it down.

    The roots may still be alive and then have the energy to start your plant growing again. I never give up on plants until I'm sure.

    The best time for trimming forsythia is in the spring as soon as possible after the blooms fade. Forsythia sets flower buds in late summer on the growth it puts on during that years growing season. Hence, blooms are created on one year old wood.
